House Hunters International

As an American who has traveled extensively in Europe, Asia and South America for many years, I enjoy seeing the housing details in many places I have visited. It's also nice to see how well in many instances patient, forgiving, native born real estate agents handle unreasonable wishes and expectations concerning space and price, and with couples, conflicting desires for location. But the bonus is watching so many of my fellow Americans make loud, obnoxious fools of themselves because some isn't as big or convenient or as perfect as "back home." If all that is so important to you, why not just stay home and stop giving the rest of us a bad reputation? The show is instructive on how not to behave if one is a guest in another country.

In a lot of these episodes I'm not convinced the couples or job moves are genuine never mind the house search.

I generally enjoy this show. I like the format and the glimpse into another couple's or family's life as they make a home buying or rental decision. However, it is extremely annoying to have the same things repeated 2, 3 or 4 times in a half-hour show. Either add some other footage or cut the show to 20 minutes.

This same complaint of repetition could be made for the other shows in this genre produced by same company. I also find the voice of the narrator kind of irritating. Who knows, maybe I wouldn't if she didn't tell us 5 times that Jim & Sally are leaving behind their life in the States now that they are empty nesters -- or whatever.

I love to travel and this is the show I watch before I go to sleep. Love it!!!

I've learned a lot about the different countries and cultures through this show. I'm incredibly interested in seeing the different styles of homes and standards that exist around the world. We have see Katmandu, Dubai, Nirobi, Spain, Iceland, Brazil, Caribbean islands, Australia, Vanuatu, Thailand, Italy, France, etc. All of them make me want to explore the areas more. Great adventure and escape. The ones I like the let are France and Italy. Both are beautiful countries but they seem to show the same types of properties when those countries are featured. The others are incredibly fascinating. I am glad that they have added Africa and South American cities into their mix because Europe seemed to be their main continent. Love to see the diversity and highlights of the countries.
